Why is motor imagery beneficial?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Motor imagery and actual motor actions use the same motor programs. Since the same motor programs are engaged when imagery is used as in actual motor performance, practice with mental imagery practices the motor routine. In addition, the constraints of the physical world that impact our actual performance similarly impact motor imagery. Therefore, motor imagery and motor production use the same representations and the physical characteristics of objects and events have the same influence on imagined and performed actions.
